vrf After upgrade to VEE7 issues with VXI calls

A lot depends on the type of GPIB controller you are using. Do you have anembedded controller or E8491B for the VXI? Are you using a 82357A or anE5810 for GPIB? If you are using the panel drivers then you cannot use suite14, you must load IO libraries version L and update to M for VEE 7. Thisallows the ISCPI driver to exist for register based instrument support.Version L is the last ISCPI supported library released by Agilent and youneed M for VEE 7 support. This may not be your problem but it works for us.

Today I made the error to update the I/O libraries from M.01.01 to 14 and vee from 6 to 7.03. Now I cannot longer comunicate with VXI instruments unless I use the P&P driver (I'll check again not sure). Unfortunately I have instruments not using P&P.I guess the problem is similar.

How do you comunicate with VXI? I mean, do you use gpib and a number similar to 709xx? This does not longer seem to work, getting a timeout error.Note that using VISA, I can send standard *RTS, IDN? etc. with no problems. Did you try this?

I also had problems to find the instruments. I had to manually add them as a GPIB0 devices and only AFTER THAT the GPIB0:VXI has been recognized as a valid interface. This is a mistery to me.

After any VXI call, GPIB is locked and cannot communicate to any instrument.Only invocation of a new instrument find allows nominal operation. Savingafter instrument find makes no difference. Program still faults after firstVXI call. Short of running an instrument find at program initialization, or replacingall VXI calls, any ideas???....
